[自主发现]
以上黑体部分均为表语从句;表语从句是指放在系动词后充当表语的句子。含有表语从句的一般结构为“主语+系动词+连接词+表语从句”;以上五个从句的连接词分别为when,how,what,what,what;其中when和how在以上从句中作状语;what在以上从句中均作主语。
一、表语从句概述
在主从复合句中充当表语的从句,叫作表语从句。它常位于系动词之后,用来说明主语是什么或怎么样。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be,seem,look,sound,taste,feel,remain,appear等。
What he wants to know is whether Mrs Smith can help polish his composition.
他想知道的是史密斯夫人是否能帮他润色作文。
二、表语从句的连接词
Conjunctions(连接词)
Functions(功能) in the clause
从属连词
that,whether
不充当成分
连接代词
what,whom,who,which,whose,wh-ever
主语、宾语、表语、定语
连接副词
when,where,why,how,whenever,wherever
状语
(1)从属连词引导的表语从句
The girl’s greatest fault is that she is too uncomplicated.
那个女孩最大的毛病是太单纯。
The point is whether we can find a bag resembling the old one.
关键是我们能否找到一个和旧包相似的包。
总结:①连词that无意义,不充当成分,且不可省略;②whether可引导表语从句,一般不用if代替,在从句中不充当成分,意思是“是否”。
(2)连接代词和连接副词引导的表语从句
The artisan in our hometown is no longer what he was.
我们家乡的那位工匠不再是从前的样子了。
The most important issue is who will be in charge of the project in such harsh conditions.
最重要的问题是谁将在如此恶劣的条件下负责这个项目。
The problem is how we can handle the difficult situation.
问题是我们如何才能处理困难的局面。
That’s where the famous astronomer is wrong.
那就是这位著名的天文学家不对的地方。
总结:连接代词和连接副词引导表语从句时往往带有它们的疑问含义,连接代词在表语从句中充当主语、宾语、表语或定语,连接副词在表语从句中充当状语。
三、使用表语从句时的注意事项
(1)表语从句采用陈述语序,即“连接词+主语+谓语”
(疑问语序) Who can we get to replace her?
我们能找到谁代替她呢?
(表语从句中的陈述语序) The problem is who we can get to replace her.
问题是我们能找到谁代替她。
(2)why和because引导的表语从句的区别
That’s why...
意为“那是……的原因”,强调结果
That’s because...
意为“那是因为……”,强调原因
The reason why...is that...
意为“……的原因是……”,此处why引导的是定语从句,that引导的是表语从句
He always finds fault with me and that’s why I get angry with him.
他总是找我茬。那就是我对他生气的原因。
I get angry with him,and that’s because he always finds fault with me.
我对他很生气。那是因为他总是找我茬。
The reason why I get angry with him is that he always finds fault with me.
我对他生气的原因是他总是找我茬。
(3)that和what的区别
that引导表语从句时,是从属连词,在从句中不作成分,只起连接作用;what是连接代词,引导表语从句时,在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语。
That was what was bothering her on the way to school yesterday.
那就是昨天上学路上困扰她的事情。
Apparently,the problem is that the girl lacks confidence while expressing herself.
很显然,问题是这个女孩在表达自己时缺乏信心。
(4)as if/though引导的表语从句,从句中的谓语动词可用陈述语气,也可用虚拟语气
The meat tastes as if it has already gone bad.
这肉尝起来似乎已经坏了。
Though in his sixties,he looks as if he were very young.
尽管60多岁了,他看上去很年轻。
(5)表语从句中的虚拟语气
如果主语是advice,suggestion,proposal,request,order等时,表语从句谓语动词的形式:(should+)动词原形。
My suggestion is that you (should) take in foods high in protein.
我的建议是你应该摄入富含蛋白质的食物。
尽可能多地运用表语从句翻译下列语段
悲伤的泪水顺着我的脸颊流淌。这是因为我英语考试不及格。似乎我被扔进了绝望的世界。关键问题是我完全失去了信心。幸运的是,我的英语老师的建议是我应该多记单词。关键是我如何才能把所学的任何东西应用到实践中去。逐渐地,我脸上又露出了笑容。
Tears of sadness poured down my cheeks.This was because I failed in the English exam.It seemed as if I had been thrown into the world of hopelessness.The key problem was that I completely lost confidence.Luckily,my English teacher’s suggestion was that I (should) memorize more words.The key was how I could apply whatever I learned to practice.Gradually,a smile appeared on my face again.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The national outpouring of grief(悲痛) at the death of two legendary academicians(院士)over the weekend,as if people had lost beloved members of their own families,offers much food for thought.
At 1:02 pm on May 22nd,2021,liver surgeon Wu Mengchao,99,died in Shanghai.He is known as the founder of hepatobiliary surgery(肝胆外科) in the country and was the teacher of roughly 80 percent of the nation’s experts and doctors specializing in liver surgery today.Wu operated on thousands of patients,and saved at least 16,000 lives.Five minutes later in Changsha,Hunan Province,agricultural scientist Yuan Longping died at the age of 91.He was known as the father of hybrid rice who helped lift the nation out of hunger.
With their dedication to science and commitment to the people,the two devoted their lives to saving lives and improving people’s livelihoods.Together with generations of their students,they not only made a big difference to the lives of the Chinese people,but also many living in other developing and least-developed countries.
Wu insisted that medical science is humanity while Yuan’s lifelong dream was always to enable the Chinese people to fill their own bowls with rice.What makes Wu and Yuan great is not only their achievements,but also their shared attachment to the people.The public’s spontaneous(自发的) outpouring of grief at their deaths,which has been rare in the country for decades,shows how much their down-to-earth dedication to improving people’s lives touched hearts throughout the country.
Yuan and Wu are just two representatives of the large numbers of scientific workers that have devoted their lives to their research,giving the country’s people-centered development principle more practical meaning.The country needs more scientists to inherit and carry forward their spirit.Even those in other walks of life can draw inspiration from the two academicians’ commitment to their dreams,care for the people,and unconcern about material enjoyment,so as to make the best of what life grants for themselves and others.

1.答案 riding
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处为“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,根据句意,表示正在进行的动作应用现在分词,故填riding。
2.答案 relatively
解析 考查副词。修饰形容词cheap应用副词作状语。故填relatively。
3.答案 who
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Bill Cunningham,指人,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who。故填who。
4.答案 inspiration
解析 考查名词。分析句子可知,空格处是宾语,应用名词形式,表示“灵感”,不可数,故填inspiration。
5.答案 it
解析 考查代词。分析句子可知,and后的分句是强调句型“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他成分”,完整的句子是“he saw both beauty and potential within their reality”,被强调部分是within their reality。故填it。
6.答案 brands
解析 考查名词复数。形容词修饰名词,空处与“high society”并列作介词to的宾语,brand“品牌”是可数名词,根据句意,应用复数,故填brands。
7.答案 what
解析 考查表语从句。分析句子可知,is是系动词,空处引导表语从句,从句缺少主语,表示“……的(东西)”,用连接词what。故填what。
8.答案 uncomplicated
解析 考查形容词。Although引导让步状语从句,前后文是转折关系,故此处表示“他的生活方式并不复杂”,was是系动词,后接形容词作表语,故填uncomplicated。
9.答案 be bought
解析 考查时态及语态。分析句子可知,buy是谓语动词,空前的would not说明时态为过去将来时,buy(收买)与主语He之间是被动关系,故用过去将来时的被动语态(would be done),故填be bought。
10.答案 to capture
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处为固定搭配enable sb to do sth“让某人能够做某事”,应用不定式作宾语补足语,故填to capture。
